List of 80th Golden Globe Nominees Studded with Wizarding World Stars

by · December 14, 2022

It’s no secret that we think the cast and crew of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films are wildly talented, which makes it all the more satisfying to see so many of them recognized in this year’s list of Golden Globe nominees.

 

 

Bill Nighy (Rufus Scrimgeour) starts off the list of alumni with a nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for his role in Living. Emma Thompson (Professor Trelawney) is up for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for her work in Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. Likewise, two Wizarding World alumni received nominations for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy: Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort) for The Menu and Colin Farrell (Percival Graves) for The Banshees of Inisherin, which was itself nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.

The Banshees of Inisherin also earned Brendan Gleeson (Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody) a nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture. Eddie Redmayne (Newt Scamander) was nominated in this category as well for his work in The Good Nurse. Domhnall Gleeson (Bill Weasley) is up for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for The Patient.

 

 

Imelda Staunton (Professor Umbridge) is nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama for her impeccable performance as Queen Elizabeth in The Crown, which itself is up for Best Television Series – Drama. House of the Dragon, which stars Rhys Ifans (Xenophilius Lovegood), is nominated in this category as well.

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, in which David Bradley (Argus Filch) voices Geppetto and Ron Perlman (Gnarlak) voices Podesta and which was scored by Alexandre Desplat, is nominated for Best Motion Picture – Animated. It’s also up for Best Original Score – Motion Picture, thanks to the musical talent of Alexandre Desplat. His song in the film “Ciao Papa” is nominated for Best Original Song – Motion Picture. Desplat worked on the score for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

John Williams, too, has gotten a nomination for Best Original Score – Motion Picture courtesy of his work on The Fabelmans. Williams is the legendary composer who scored the first three Harry Potter films and is especially well-known for writing “Hedwig’s Theme,” which was used throughout the series.

Check out the full list of nominees on the Golden Globes website. The 80th Golden Globe Awards will air on NBC and Peacock on Tuesday, January 10 at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT.
